#ShippingFuels & #Decarbonization In Q1-Q3 of 2025, shipping fuel consumption was 1.6% above the corresponding prior-year period, following a 4.0% rise in 2024 .
Actual decarbonization of bunker sales in 2025 amounts to approximately 0.7%. In 2023, the share was approximately 0.4%.

A few days ago, Berlin opened a new stretch of urban motorway, with the stated aim to reduce congestion.
Today, the stretch was temporarily closed because of too much congestion.

Climate change is a by-product of progress in the same way as obesity is a by-product of nutrition. For goodness sakes, it's the 21st century! We have the technology to enjoy progress without trashing the planet.
🇳🇴 Norway is supporting the construction of potentially the world’s biggest electric container ships 🚢🔋, amongst other vessels. The two ships, which are capable of carrying 850 containers, will sail between Norway, Sweden and Germany with a 100 MWh battery.

Germany's Sparkasse is blocking payments from Gazprom to former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder. No one worked harder to achieve German dependency on Russian gas, a dependency that has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of euros. I hope ends his days in jail.

“It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them.” — Mayor of Pontevedra, Spain (re-elected 6 times)
The UK has indicated that it wants to link its carbon market for shipping and aviation with the EU’s.
This could pave the way towards these sectors paying for the true cost of their pollution and generate much needed revenues for green fuel and technology investment.
Krass. "Climateworks" verursacht beim fangen von CO2 mehr Emissionen als es aus der Luft holt: 1700 zu 1000 Tonnen ist die Ratio ca. Statt versprochenen 12.000 Tonnen holte man mit DAC seit 2021 nur 2400 Tonnen aus der Luft. Das entspricht ca 8x Frankfurt-LA hin/retour 😬... heimildin.is/grein/24581/
Global electric car sales, 2014-2024. China has the largest share of BEV and PHEV sales, followed by Europe BEV, Europe PHEV and United States BEV
Good news! Global sales of electric cars rose by over 25% last year.
BUT... a not so rosy picture for carmakers selling BEVs in Europe where the market stagnated - in the absence of an EU target to meet in 2024.
It's clear that delaying the EU's CO2 rules would weaken our global competitiveness.
NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell ~1.6% in the first quarter and have now been flat or down for more than a year. This is the first time on record that emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand.
Reducing EU gas demand in line with RePowerEU, would allow the EU to be very picky with respect to its foreign gas suppliers.

“If we do not act, by 2050 aviation emissions will be about a quarter of all human-caused emissions – that will be really a very shameful position". Amen.
Great to see industry insiders speak the truth on this important issue 🙏

Our Global Methane Tracker 2025 is out!
It shows methane data & transparency are continuing to improve
But methane emissions remain stubbornly high - even though measures to tackle them are widely available and often very cost-effective

#SAF #HVO Der globale Markt für Low-Carbon Bio-Feedstocks wie #UCO oder #POME wird immer enger und teurer werden, da die Zahl nationaler SAF-Mandate wächst. Umso dringlicher ist der rasche Ausbau der europäischen Produktion von #E-Fuels für den #Flugverkehr und den #Seeverkehr.
imaginary friends matter too
NEW: Aviation emissions are almost back to 2019 levels, with flights within Europe even exceeding these.
As much as 70% of these emissions remained unpriced in 2024 due to flaws in the EU’s carbon market.

Bonkers. £80m for 5,900 tonnes of green hydrogen, which will abate 53k tonnes of CO2. That's over £1,500 per tonne, 40x the UK carbon price! For a technology that solves no problem that biodiesel doesn't solve for 1/3 of the fuel cost and zero capex or risk.
